Our pre-seminary students receive a firm foundation in sound doctrine while gaining the skills they need to study God s Word from our highly-qualified Theology faculty. All of this takes place on a Christ-centered campus with many opportunities to develop lifelong friendships and to put learning into practice by serving others. It is an inspiring time to be a part of Concordia University Wisconsin and a wonderful time to see inspiration in action. Rev. Patrick T. Ferry, PhD President
